Clear Scraps & Stampendous Blog hop!!

Keep checking back at Clear Scraps and Stampendous all week long, as there are a lot of prizes involved, and lots of inspiration too!

I am so happy to have you here visiting my blog! If you came here via Clear Scraps you are in the right spot! If not, I would love for you to check out our hop beginning here.

For my project today I created this sweet little gift bag. It perfect for filling with a small gift or treat for someone special.

I started off by stamping Stampendous Jumbo Tropical stamp to an old sheet of Scenic Route paper. Then, I fed the paper into my Cameo Silhouette to cut out this sweet 3D ribbon box from a Lori Whitlock file.

Once it was all cut out, I pulled out my watercolors and lightly colored in the different areas on the tropical stamp.

Once the paper was dry, I adhered it together and tied it closed using this lovely polka dot ribbon. To create the sentiment on the bag, I stamped To cheer You using Stampendous Friendly Phrases. I also used a Clear Scraps Flower Embellishment that I dyed with sunset orange alcohol ink.

Layer them together and you have a lovely embellished sentiment for your gift bag. The fun doesn't stop here friends, please check out the other fabulous designers from Clear Scraps and Stampendous today!!

Hi Leah! Thanks for adding me to your list! Your box is awesome, I love it! I'm going to have to get some clear accent pieces, those are just too cool! I really like how you stamped the image on the striped paper and added just the right amount of color. Fantastic!
